Yahoo Media Player Now Plays Music From Your Site

Yahoo's web-based audio player hasn't been a very interesting affair so far: it's an embeddable widget that plays 30 second music clips from Yahoo Music. However, with the latest update, Yahoo Media player can now reproduce audio from other sites, too.

More importantly, it has some interesting features under the hood. For example, it can now easily create a playlist out of all the songs contained on a web page. It also allows you to set the album art image, control the playlist sequence and song title, etc. There's nothing revolutionary there, but it's yet another sign that Yahoo has big plans for its Music service.
